Pilot study demonstrates treating PFAS with CAC at the air-water interface eliminates PFAS mass flux into groundwater — halting further plume development.
In Situ Remediation Services Ltd. (IRSL), a leading environmental remediation company based in Canada, has recently completed a pilot study demonstrating how PFAS are effectively treated in the capillary fringe of an AFFF source zone by in situ injection using Colloidal Activated Carbon (CAC).
Paid to deploy a large-scale demonstration system to the state oil company of Oman, it successfully cleaned their sludge and recovered 99% of the oil for recycling.
Envorem Limited is a UK based company that has developed a fast, compact Greentech to treat oily sludge without generating emissions by exploiting an obscure natural phenomenon in water.
Metallophiles hold great potential in remediating sites of heavy metal contamination and can also be used in rare earth metal discovery, among other useful applications.
Understanding how microbes withstand exposure to heavy metal concentrations that are toxic to humans and other organisms is foundational to the development of effective bioremediation techniques.
Aquagga, Inc., a Tacoma, Washington-based Public Benefit Corporation, has entered into an exclusive licensing agreement with Mines for the commercialization of the HALT-PFAS technology.
Laconic will upgrade the current USMC surf characterization methods with a state-of-the-art automated software and hardware maritime environmental monitoring system that can identify, measure and quantify risk variables at scale and speed.
Activated carbon is a charcoal-like substance that PFAS stick to quite well and can be used to remove PFAS from water. Ion exchange systems are typically even better, writes Joe Charbonnet.
The testing illustrates that residents on well water often don't know exactly what's in the water they're drinking, and they are given little guidance on maintenance as they alone are responsible.
Thermally remediating soil contaminated with PFAS has the potential to be an effective solution. TerraTherm has performed detailed lab studies to understand the removal mechanisms and developed a treatment method that mineralizes and removes nearly 100% of target and non-target PFAS compounds from the vapor discharge.
